Career Warrior Podcast

Today, we’re going to talk about increasing our happiness and quality of life by building a better relationship with our work life. Why you want to listen to this episode: you want less stress, you value your life as a whole, and you want more happiness. My guest, Hilary Constable, is a rockstar HR Consultant and founder of Constable HR, which is based in Denver. She began her journey while studying in school under some great minds in her field of Psychology. She’s racked up some solid experience in various industries and plenty of certifications to back up that experience. And as a recovering Workaholic, she’s made it her mission to fight this modern day epidemic -- and bring awareness to the professionals out there that there is a better life. Here's what we cover:How do I know that I’m experiencing the symptoms of workaholism?I NEED to work hard and long hours in order to do a good job with what I’m doing. I’m a top performing sales person, I’m the CEO of a startup, I’m working on a promotion. How could I not be a workaholic?What will life look like when I have actually started to value my whole life above my work life? What starts to happen? How can people use the 2020 pledge to live a much better life?Resources mentioned in the show:The 20/20 PLEDGE: https://www.hilaryconstable.com/the2020pledgeHilary Constable's Website: https://www.hilaryconstable.com/Career Warrior Episode on Nutrition: https://podcasts.apple.com/co/podcast/59-more-energy-at-work-series-pt-1-nutrition-fuel-for/id1151607856?i=1000446178986Career Warrior Episode on Sleep: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/61-fundamentals-getting-better-sleep-more-energy-at/id1151607856?i=1000446706683 Hosted on Acast.

Today, we took a little bit of a different turn (although a very important one). Everyone is going through something whether or not you see it or not, and if you're deep in your job search, you really need to listen to this message. Reasons we did this episode:To remove the focus from ourselves for one second. How often do you think about yourself...the fact that your job may suck?...the fact that you don’t have your dream job yet?... you, you, you. It can be stressful, and it’s not actually good for us. This removes that centralized focus and yields a more healthy attitude.To foster more patience in yourself and with other people. It is so important to be patient especially in the tough times.EMPATHY. Get some! Hope you enjoy.Resources mentioned in the show:Resisting Happiness by Matthew Kelly: https://www.amazon.com/Resisting-Happiness-Matthew-Kelly/dp/1942611927Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-villanueva-cprw/Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/careerwarriorpodcast/ Hosted on Acast.
